    Gunma Pref. Agatsumaguntsumagoimura Kambara 492
    This Kannon Temple is located in Tsumagoi Village, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture. It is believed to be the only remaining one in Kanbara Village since the great eruption of Mount Asama in 1783. Kanbara Village was completely covered by the eruption and has been called the Oriental Pompeii. In an excavation made in 1979, the remains of two women were found at the bottom of the stone steps. Materials of the period relating to the disaster are exhibited at the nearby Tsumagoi Folk Museum. The museum staff and preservation society also sometimes give talks about the history of the area. Even now, the Kuyo festival is held here every year.

    1783年の浅間山噴火により犠牲になった477名、唯一残った観音堂に賭け上がれ生き残った93名の村人の明暗を分けた階段があります。流された延命寺石標、流死馬供養地蔵、15段に届かず絶命した2人の女性の遺体発掘跡、観音堂を背に村を見渡すと屋根が低い、この辺りはすっぽりと埋まったという景色。隣村有志の情けにて妻亡き人の妻となり この歌が村の再建の執念を感じさせる。一見の価値ありです。

Gunma prefecture is synonymous with onsen. Natural hot spring water sources throughout the prefecture have given rise to a series of small onsen towns, each set among luscious mountains. At Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Minakami, traditional indoor and outdoor bathing experiences are served hand in hand with irresistible onsen-themed food, including steam-cooked eggs and custard pudding.
